Weird Brake Issue
I have an interesting brake problem. I drove one night for around an hour and the brakes worked fine. Got up the next morning and the brake pedal was very soft and would brake a little but the pedal went almost all the way to the floor and the stopping power was much less than normal. The brake light is on, but there is not any obvious leaks anywhere (that I can find) and the fluid level is ok. It might have been a TINY bit less than totally full, but the fluid looked pretty dark. Could there be a really slow leak somewhere? Also no ABS.
Thanks in advance.

Oh, changing brake fluid. Hardly anyone ever does it. They should.
